Tooth-Colored Fillings in Monroe, LA
Natural Looking, Tooth-Colored Fillings
Having a cavity or decay is not the best news to hear at the dental office. However, most people will experience at least one cavity in their lifetime. Thanks to advancements in dental materials, fillings have changed for the better. The most popular choice for a filling today uses composite material, which is tooth-colored and offers a natural appearance. Eddleman Dental is pleased to offer natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings for patients.
What Makes a Composite Filling?
Composite fillings are made from a combination of silica and powdered glass mixed into a resin base. These materials form a durable and long-lasting filling material that mimics the aesthetic properties of our natural teeth. Composite fillings will be color-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Once the filling is placed, the material is then cured using a special light creating a strong bond with the enamel of your tooth.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
One of the greatest benefits of tooth-colored fillings is that they are 100% free of metal. Many patients are opting to have their older, metal fillings replaced with tooth-colored fillings for health purposes. Additional benefits of composite fillings include:
